Direct-drive fans have fewer moving parts than belt-drive fans for less maintenance. More economical than upblast roof-mount exhaust fans, these draw stagnant and humid air out through your roof and then direct it back toward the roof. All fans have a disconnect switch to turn off the power for servicing.

Fans with a brushless motor are more efficient than fans with a standard motor. They operate at a wide range of speeds for precise speed control and greater energy savings. They’re also quieter and have a longer lifespan because of their advanced electronic controls.

Note: Airflow depends on the resistance created by ductwork. This resistance, known as static pressure (SP), is measured in inches of water.
